D is for Doing the Work

by Vanna on April 4, 2013

I just have a short post today, and it has to do with the third book in my Anniversary of the Veil series. I am happy to say that I have started a new Scrivener document for the first draft, and have begun writing in my scene plan. Tomorrow, I will start writing 😉

I have and use Scrivener, but not to the extent that I could. I haven’t used the corkboard feature much, but I should do that to plan out a new project. I am reforming myself from a “pantser” so this whole idea of scene planning, while intriguing, is new to me. I usually abandon an outline midway to get writing.Stephanie Scott recently posted..Blogging A to Z: D is for Sarah Dessen

Scrivener is awesome, though this is the first time I’m actually using the corkboard for outlining. I also started out as more of a pantster, but I finally got the hang of planning when writing the last book. It makes it so much easier to stay on track with the story if you have a plan going in. Though a lot of my outline will change once I start to write, I’m sure 😉
